I can't imagine they'd do IX any justice from that trailer. Will wait to see if the battle system isn't garbage like every other Final Fantasy since X but I'm not holding my breath from those gifs Did they think people enjoyed FFVII because of the story or something?

Will be interesting to see if the rest of the game is as linear as they've made the few gameplay snippets from the opening mission look, too...

There are things that they can do to modernise the experience that would still leave the old gameplay intact. Bravely Default is a game I can think of recently that brought turn based battling up to the present day. Things like save anywhere or controlling random encounter chances are nice features that would be a good fit for something like this. Or features to help people progress the story who aren't good at games.

This battle system they have going seems more like a Kingdom Hearts action based affair. Could be good, but they also risk alienating people who loved the game for what it was. I like turn based systems and I don't think we should leave all that behind. I will still play this when it comes out and judge it for myself.

The game has some phenomenal looking assets. The members of avalanche looked perfect in that trailer.

Yoshinori Kitase swings by to talk about remaking fan favorite Final Fantasy VII for the PS4.

"I can’t say the new game is completely action-based, but it has more of that element and real-time than the previous game."

“However, what makes Final Fantasy and RPG different from other games is that the players have the ability to choose weapons, capabilities and magic to be strategic minded, so while the new game has more real-time element, it will also maintain that strategy building element, balancing these two factors perfectly to enhance the gaming experience."
